Single conveyor system

On a single conveyor system, the products are transported continuously through the finishing system (like painting line), without possibility to change track.

Construction

The chain has easy running wheels and runs in the C-profile.

For each link in the chain a product or product part can be hanged or a fixture can be mounted.

The profile can be turned with the opening upwards to avoid pollution of the products from the chain/rail.

One or more driving units pull the chain, they are constructed to transmit maximum power to the chain and give a minimum abrasion.

The speed of the chain can be regulated stepless by means of a frequency inverter. A pneumatic tensioning device keep the chain tense.

Function

The workpieces are hanged on the chain in suitable jigs; one or more driving units pull them through the finishing system.

The number of driving units needed depends on the maximum load of the conveyor and the geometry of the overall layout of the finishing system.

In order to compensate for heat expansion and wear the system are equipped with pneumatic expansion units.
